4. Setup and Assembly

The Truper BOPE-60 pedal pump is designed for quick and easy setup.

4.1 Preparing the Pump

1. Unfold the Pedal: Locate the foldable metal support (pedal) at the base of the pump. Gently pull it out until it locks into a 90° position, providing a stable base for operation.
2. Access Adapters: The pump features a compartment for storing valve adapters. Open this compartment to retrieve the necessary adapter for your specific valve type (Presta, Schrader, or Dunlop) or the ball needle.

4.2 Attaching the Correct Valve Adapter

The pump comes with a dual-head valve system. Depending on your tire or ball valve, you may need to use one of the included adapters.

• For Schrader Valves (American): The pump's dual head typically has one opening suitable for Schrader valves. If an adapter is needed, ensure it is correctly inserted into the pump head.
• For Presta Valves (European): Use the appropriate Presta adapter. Insert the adapter into the pump head, then attach it to the Presta valve stem.
• For Dunlop Valves (English): Use the appropriate Dunlop adapter. Insert the adapter into the pump head, then attach it to the Dunlop valve stem.
• For Sports Balls: Insert the ball needle adapter into the pump head.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Inflating Bicycle Tires

1. Prepare the Tire Valve: If using a Presta valve, unscrew the valve cap and then unscrew the small nut at the top of the valve stem to open it. For Schrader valves, simply remove the valve cap.
2. Attach the Pump: Firmly press the appropriate opening of the pump's dual head onto the tire valve. Ensure a tight seal to prevent air leakage. If using an adapter, attach the adapter first, then the pump head.
3. Secure the Pump: Flip the lever on the pump head to lock it onto the valve stem.
4. Inflate: Place your foot firmly on the non-slip pedal to stabilize the pump. Hold the handle and press down with steady, even strokes. Continue pumping until the desired pressure is reached.
5. Remove the Pump: Once inflated, flip the lever on the pump head to unlock it, then quickly remove the pump from the valve. For Presta valves, screw the small nut back down and replace the valve cap. Replace the cap for Schrader valves.

5.2 Inflating Sports Balls

1. Attach Ball Needle: Insert the ball needle adapter into the pump head and secure it.
2. Insert Needle into Ball: Moisten the ball needle slightly (e.g., with saliva or water) to ease insertion and prevent damage to the ball's valve. Carefully insert the needle straight into the ball's inflation port.
3. Inflate: Place your foot firmly on the non-slip pedal. Hold the handle and pump with steady strokes until the ball reaches the desired firmness. Avoid over-inflating.
4. Remove Needle: Carefully pull the needle straight out of the ball's inflation port.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Truper BOPE-60 pedal pump.

• Cleaning: Wipe the pump body and hose with a damp cloth after use to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
• Storage: Store the pump in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the pedal is folded for compact storage. Keep all adapters in the designated storage compartment.
• Hose and Valve Head: Periodically inspect the hose for cracks or damage and the valve head for wear. Replace if necessary.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your pedal pump, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Pump not inflating / Air leaking:
  • Ensure the pump head is securely locked onto the valve stem.
  • Check if the correct adapter is being used for the valve type.
  • Inspect the hose and valve head for any visible damage or cracks.
  • For Presta valves, ensure the small nut at the top of the valve stem is unscrewed before attaching the pump.
• Difficulty attaching pump head:
  • Ensure the valve stem is clean and free of debris.
  • Apply slight pressure while pushing the pump head onto the valve, then quickly flip the locking lever.
• Pump feels stiff or hard to push:
  • This can be normal at higher pressures. Ensure your foot is firmly on the pedal for stability.
  • Check for any obstructions in the pump mechanism.
